Not heeding the deva's insults, the hideous blind-eyed apparition roars once more as it drifts closer to Ferris and Jezebel:
[sblock=Primordial]
Servants of false gods, I will drag you down to oblivion![/sblock]
Jezebel is frozen in the blind stare of the shadow's enormous eye, while the smaller stalks fire off rays in the other direction, narrowly missing Ferris, but hitting Sir Exsixten, filling the mechanical knight with an inexplicable desire to enter power-saver mode.
One of the remaining lesser shadows takes advantage of Jezebel's stasis to sting the Paladin and pull back a short distance, while another pursues and harries the now-slow moving mechanical knight, scratching the surface of his hind-plating.
Hekthesh attempts to capitalize on Sir Exsixten's fatigue and distraction, yelling a vicious, incoherent battle cry as he jumps, swinging the blade of his shortsword at full-force into the mechanical knight's face. To the dark one's consternation however, the shoulder plate he had previously hewn off of the warforged shifts of its own accord to absorb and deflect the blow. Frustrated, Hekthesh yanks his blade free of Sir Exsixten's readjusted plating, and attempt to put some space between himself and the oddly-persistent knight, but is brought up short by a slow, but well-placed axe swing that merely grazes the dark one, but catches in the hem of his cloak, holding him in place.
Dhakanmirr looks on helplessly with clouded, unseeing eyes, still dumbstruck by the failure of his ritual.
